Baby of girl, 12, life fight

THE baby girl of Britain’s youngest mum was last night fighting for life as she stopped breathing seconds after being born. Docs snatched the tot from the horrified 12-year-old mother and whisked her away to an incubator.
The mum — who fell pregnant during a drunk, cannabis-fuelled romp at the age of 11 — was cradling her daughter for the first time when the tot began turning blue.
The newborn has now been moved from St John’s Hospital in Livingston, West Lothian — where she was born at 3am yesterday — to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
The chain-smoking mum is keeping a vigil by her 6lbs 13oz daughter’s incubator where she is fighting breathing complications. Last night, the baby’s devastated gran, 34, told how the family’s joy turned to terror within moments of the birth.
She sobbed: “It was awful. My daughter was handed the baby and she gasped and said to me, ‘Oh mum’ because she was so proud and excited.
“But suddenly panic broke out because the baby’s lips started going blue.
“We’re just praying she pulls through. My daughter was almost crying when she asked doctors, ‘Just save my baby — tell me she’s not going to die’.
“It broke my heart to hear my little girl talking about her little girl like that.
“The doctors say she might have to stay in the incubator for two weeks.”
When we told last month how the girl fell pregnant at the age of 11 our scoop was picked up around the world.
We revealed the girl — who lives in a West Lothian council flat — began smoking at nine. And she still puffed up to 20 a day despite being pregnant.
She took up drinking at ten — sometimes downing a potent mix of strong wine and vodka.
And she told told how she was saving her pocket money to support her baby and also planned to get a paper round.
She had sex with a boy of 15 in Edinburgh on a night out with pals but did not think she could get pregnant her first time.
The lad now faces a rape charge and is due at the High Court in Edinburgh on July 10.

So much for the whole drinking and smoking not having an effect on the fetus as she was claiming earlier.
